How do I forward SPECIFIC calls to another number?

How do forward SPECIFIC calls to another number

Is it possible to forward only specific callers, to another number?

I don't want to forward all calls, only certain ones. Verizon has the "All or None" problem with *72 and *73.

EXAMPLE:

I am a medical sales rep. Doctors fax me prescriptions of knee braces. I've set up an eFax to receive them.

On my Android (Samsung Galaxy S4), I've synced my Google Contacts. That includes the Doctors office Phones and Fax numbers.

A few times a month, the doctors office make a mistake. When sending me a fax, they ACCIDENTALLY PUT MY CELL PHONE NUMBER INTO THEIR FAX MACHINES.

You can imagine how annoying that is. It will call me, I will pick up - only to hear their fax tone trying to connect. It will attempt to reach me 4 or 5 times. (Then I have to call the office, and have them fax to the correct number.) It's a real pain-in-the-rump.

What I'd like:

When my phone recognizes that a contact's fax machine is calling, then I'd like to forward that to my eFax number.

So, all calls normally come through - but the ones that I choose (such as know fax numbers), would get forwarded.

Is this possible?

Welcome to Android Cental!

Looking around in the app store I don't see anything that can do that. Just apps that forward calls.
